Orgadata takes a strategic leap forward by joining Forterro, forming the new Forterro Windows & Doors division in Leer, Germany.

It marks a milestone for our industry: Orgadata is proactively taking the next step to strengthen its leading market position. Under the Forterro umbrella, Orgadata will form a new division, 'Forterro Windows & Doors,' headquartered in Leer, Germany. This lays a solid foundation for shared, sustainable growth.

The customary regulatory approvals are currently underway, with a positive outcome expected in the first quarter of 2025. Until then, Orgadata and Forterro will continue to operate completely independently.

This acquisition represents a significant step in the growth strategy of Orgadata and Forterro. With its scale, expertise, and established processes, Forterro is ideally positioned to complement our strengths and drive innovation forward. At the same time, Orgadata provides Forterro with a gateway into the windows, doors, and curtain wall sector, adding a new dimension to Forterro’s portfolio that extends beyond ERP and production solutions.

"We see Forterro as a catalyst for our future growth, one who shares our vision of advancing digitalisation in craftsmanship and providing innovative solutions for our customers' growing challenges," emphasizes Bernd Hillbrands, the founder of Orgadata, who initiated the acquisition.  

He shares this conviction with Marcus Pannier, Regional President of Central Europe at Forterro: "With this acquisition, Forterro will not only expand our portfolio, but also gain access to a new industry within our target market, further strengthening our position as a leading software provider for mid-sized industrial companies. Together with Orgadata, we will continue to drive digitalisation in the manufacturing sector and, in line with our Forterro mission 'Powering the Businesses Powering the Future,' support even more customers on their future paths.
